Unhurried pace of things

It's amazing how we cannot live

Without our phones even for five minutes

It's fascinating how we are

Obsessed with screen time

It's awe-spiring how the constant 

Refresh of an app hits instant dopamine

I wonder how people stayed

Without the fast pacing internet,

And how much time they would spend

With themselves.

Perhaps connections thrived into the real world.

Digital detox may not always be the way,

Balance is the key to seize the day.

Love letter to self

 Dearest Me,

Thank you for going through

Everything with me.

Yes you take the fall

But every time you stand back up, tall.

You might sometimes falter

But you are someone who I will never alter.

You have worn down everyone's sighs

You are part of my very own high.

You have learnt to live, love and grow

Also you know how to let go.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart

You tick all the boxes in the chart.

With endless love

Me to me!

Last day of September

 It's amazing how the year flew by

How fall creeped in

And we are on the verge of winter

October skies
You better be pretty
September you gave us blue skies
Warm cozy drinks
Bonfires and we pulled out our sweaters

October will be more about
Changing colors and pumpkin spice.

Until next time September!
Wish us magical moonlit nights. 

Boats

 Sometimes still

Sometimes on the go
They manage to behave
When I am on the row

The life of boats I admire
The journey to the shore
I aspire

The sail carries a great deal
Sometimes a load of emotions
Sometimes a load of cargo

It must go down the Seas again
To bring back more sailors
It makes me feel small at times
And At times, it bestows happiness galore.

The longer I live, I realize

The longer I live, I realize

Life is about the simple things.

A dew-kissed rose, a bird's song,

A child's laughter, a starlit sky

,
And doing things that make me happy.

The longer I live, I realize

Life is a journey, 

A path for us to explore

It has twists, turns, up and downs galore

Always leaving us with something more

I'm going to laugh, love, and live

And make the most of every day.

The longer I live, I realize that

Gratitude is the key to unlock 

The treasures of life.

Meeting You

Have you ever met someone

And been so tongue-tied you could barely speak? 

Like You felt like you were finally complete,

And all you could do was talk to yourself in whispers?

That's how I felt when I met you.

I couldn't stop staring at your pink lips. 

I wanted to touch them so badly.

Maybe even with my own.

But then you started talking about all the other girls you liked.

I was green with envy,

But I knew I could only be seen as a friend.

I decided, I would be the best friend you could ever ask for.

You still wake up to my messages

And respond to everything I do.

And I can't help but wonder if I'll ever feel the same warmth

When I hug you again.

 

Pain

My dear family,

I don't ask                                                                                    

I don't expect

I don't even emote

Why am I still a burden to you?

Have you ever thought about how I feel

To be dependent?

#SpeciallyAbledAunt

Its OK to be not OK

It's ok to vibe alone
It's ok to get hurt
It's ok to move on
It's ok to leave
What is not ok is
To try to live unhappily

Try not to get too attached 

You deserve respect 

You deserve love.

You are not an object

You cannot be taken for granted. 

Of Cigarettes and Small Town Boys

You light a black cigarette

Everyday at sunset

Bare-bodied, 

In your small apartment balcony.                                    

P.C: Pinterest

Puff after puff,

Wandering off

Into your own thoughts.

Are you plotting against your ex?

Or planning your next tinder date?

I give a constant glare,

Probing,

What is really cooking in that wicked

Mind of yours?

Instead,

I should just bump into you across the street

And start breathing the same toxic air.

At least it won't kill me 

As much as Love did :)
